Help, Help, I’m Being Compressed!

The new #21 for the Lakers looks just like last year’s #21 for the Lakers (Turiaf)

Found a few nice things at an estate sale yesterday. Old hockey skates (note the laces)

Finally found out what CCM stands for!

Also found a baseball jersey in my size. However, seems a size 44 was smaller back then! I tried it on and it made me look like Eddie Guns. Either that or the ravages of time have gotten to it. Also, the zipper is missing. Has a few stains, I suppose I should get it professionally dry-cleaned?

“Robocalves” is a good description because in that shot, his legs look like bad CGI.

Now to my question: does anyone know of a reliable way to remove screen printing from polyester without discoloring the fabric?

It’s not easy to tell from the picture, but these link have a kind of rubbery texture. It seems like they can be peeled off, but I really don’t want to do that unless I can be sure they’ll come off cleanly. I’d rather have a full logo than a torn-up looking one.

Anyone in the NFL wearing throwbacks or patches this week?

link, the bungles are gonna wear the orange top

but that list was not complete, so there could be others…we’ll just have to wait and see

/traditionally (at least for the last 2 or 3 years anyway), the g-men would wear their red tops against the ‘boys, but apparently skeeb says they’re ditching the red this year

Ugliest Uniform game of the season?[/quote]

No, neither team looks that bad.[/quote]

Remember how the soccer kits at the Olympics this summer weren’t displaying nation’s logo?

Looks like the fallout will also affect hockey:

Still an incredibly stupid rule. Considering that that’s the team they’re playing for- Hockey Canada runs Team Canada, What other logo do you put? Dumbasses…

On the bright side, if this idiocy lasts we probably see the link with the giant leaf.

And of course the dumbasses at the IOC will still be allowing the swoosh I’m sure…

[quote comment=”297815″]Hey JTH, are you from Kokomo? I saw your that’s how we do in K-town post this morning when I was catching up on last nights posts.[/quote]
No, Chicago.

I went to IU. That “K-Town” thing was referencing my freshman year next-door neighbors who were from Kokomo. I can’t remember what exactly it was that they did this particular time, but it was incredibly stupid. I think they trashed the lounge on our floor in such a way that there was no mistaking the culprits.

Anyway, a friend of mine asked them something along the lines of “what the hell were you thinking” to which one of them replied “That’s how we get down in K-Town.”

So it became the standard punchline for a few of us anytime someone did something idiotic.

Wow, having spent a significant amount of time in Kokomo (my fiancee goes to IUK) I find a line like “That’s how we get down in K-Town” incredibly amusing…

Gary, maybe. Kokomo? Ehhhh not so much.

Well, I don’t like the Pack’s away at all and I like light blues. So Advantage Titans and Jets for me…

Still rooting for GB though.

ON A RANDOM NOTE:
I have been searching relentlessly for a logo, to no avail. I figured if anyone may be able to find it, it would be you. The logo is something I’d like to use as a design for a Student Section t-shirt; a couple years ago (?2004-2006?), Coca-Cola released 2liter bottles here in Raleigh with an ‘NC State’ theme to them. The logo was located on the top portion of the label, and it featured a wolf’s eyes with an ‘angry’ stare. It was so simple, but looking back, it was so unique and, well, cool. I’ve attempted numerous times to locate the logo/design… but again have had no luck.

help?

I\’ve known that for years, and always found it quite odd that they\’re best known as a hockey supplier. Then, when I was in Montreal in September, I actually saw a CCM Bike. Go fig.

Add Justin Tuck to the Revolution Speed list.

And by the way, Texas Tech’s uniforms, crazy as they are, I think are some of the coolest uniforms in college. Admittedly, I go to Tech, but hot damn I love those uniforms.

i know they first wore it in 2003…and i think they’ve worn it every year since (although they might have worn the grogans once on thanksgiving…or was that ’02?)…

the rumor was this year they were gonna ditch the silver and bring back the red throwbacks again…but so far…nada

[quote comment=”297851″]Watching Patriots-Colts and got to thinking, when was last time Patriots wore their silver jerseys? Or was that just a one-year thing?[/quote]

Pats have actually been wearing the silver jerseys since 2003. Here is their record wearing the silver jerseys (all at home):

* Nov. 16, 2003 — 12-0 win over Dallas

* Dec. 7, 2003 — 12-0 win over Miami

* Dec. 12, 2004 — 35-28 win over Cincinnati

* Oct. 2, 2005 — 41-17 loss to San Diego

* Dec. 17, 2006 — 40-7 win over Houston

* Sep. 23, 2007 — 38-7 win over Buffalo

Intersting — no apparent pattern. Makes me wonder: do most teams have some kind of set date/opponent for their alternates? LI Phil mentioned earlier that the Giants have worn red against Dallas the last few years. The Bears wear orange at home around Halloween (not including the orange throwbacks on Thanksgiving ’04 in Dallas).

Miami usually busts out the orange alternates for Sunday Night and Monday Night Football games. I think Denver does the same thing with the navy monochrome look. And of course, Detroit on Thanksgiving (along with whatever team plays them), but other than that……?

And speaking of Thanksgiving games, it’d be nice if they’d have all the teams start wearing throwbacks again.

After being conditioned to expect one team to wear white (or silver, as the case may be)jerseys every single game, I love seeing things like this and link on occasion.

tim,

link (scroll down to nfl)…[/quote]

Thanks.

I’d actually seen that list before. JTH was asking if there was a set date/opponent for the alternates, so I guess that list includes a couple of more: Baltimore with the monochrome black on Sunday Night and Monday Night football games, and Cincy with the orange unis on “special occasions” (whatever that means).

That looks to be it, though. Looks like there’s no “special occasion” for other teams to use their alternates.

Slightly unrelated, but why does the U of M refer to their hockey jerseys as having Chicago Bears numbers (true) with Detroit Red Wings NOB’s (VAL, but false, because it’s the Colorado Avalanche font)?[/quote]

It’s old information. The Nike jerseys last season did indeed have the bears numbers and the Avalanche lettering. This year’s lettering appears to be stock lettering, as well as the back numbers, but the front and sleeves are a different font.
